Megababe Daily Deodorant - Sunny Pits | Holiday Gifts for Women | Aluminum-Free, Clear & Clean | 2.6 oz

I'll start this off simply: Of the variety of options available online for natural essential oil deodorants that has lemon in it, this seems like the best I've found.1. Although it has a lemony smell with a hint of "something else," it comes off as pretty gender neutral. Most importantly, it actually isn't so overpowering, it stands out when people are near you. Perfect for what I want...2. My goal is to eliminate odor bacteria, not smell like lemons. This does it perfectly (while still smelling a little like lemons). The lemon essential oils impregnated through helps kill the odor bacterial, meaning although you can still sweat under your arms a little, it will be scent free.3. For me, it works all day. I am pretty active all day, however I will warn if you "stress sweat" alot, then you might want to apply a second time at lunch or something.4. The size IMO is a little small. That is good for portability, but not the best for longevity. Luckily, you'll usually only use a small thin layer per application, so even though the amount is deceptively little, it does seem to go a long way with general use. Maybe, a month of daily use? Maybe a little less? Not sure, but a big plus is you can easily dig out the remnants and lay them out, then take pieces and rub under your armpits to use the rest up. Pretty nice.5. The price is a bit expensive. It can be found in local stores (ask if you want an answer to this), but for a similar price. Oh well.Overall: I'm happy with the relatively-neutral smell this deodorant has. I will suggest it, especially if you're looking for a neutral smell that keeps odor bacteria at bay. I hope they keep making this stuff.For those on a budget:Here's a cheap home-made alternative that is, unfortunately, much more of a hassle than just applying this deodorant and go:Mix lemon juice/lemon essential oils & baking sodaAllow the reaction to subside.Keep mixing until a manageable paste is formed.Grab the paste and put it directly under your armpits. Rub it in.Keep it there for 3-10 minutes.Take a shower to rinse the paste off. Do NOT use soap under your armpits until the next time you shower again.Repeat above steps. It will keep odor at bay, and is affordable for those on a tight budget.Alternatively, you could also use a half a lemon and press/squeeze it under your arms.Why this works?The lemon juice actually kills the bacteria under your armpits that cause odor. Furthermore, the lemon juice changes the pH under your armpits temporarily, so more bacteria has a hard time coming back. The lemon juice typically doesn't irritate most skins.As an added bonus: the baking soda will lighten up dark under armpits for those who have more melanin.An easier option (that has worked so far) is just buy this deodorant. I highly suggest it. Thank you!!!

This deodorant is great! I sweat a lot and It lasts all day, has a light but refreshing scent, and doesn’t leave stains on clothes or irritate my skin. I was surprised that it works so well, even though it doesn’t prevent you from sweating, the lemony scent covers it up excellently!

I used Myro refillable deodorants for years until they disappeared. When I ran out of my backstock, I went looking for a deodorant that didn’t have cornstarch and had a light scent. This product checks all the boxes for me. I find the scent very light but cheerfully “sort of”citrus. It is non-irritating. I don’t stink. I love the wide rollerball type shape of the product.A critical plus for me is that this product is shelf stable at room temperature. I had bad experiences with products that needed to be refrigerated in order to be solid. This deodorant passed the stability test. It’s my new go to brand.

Love the scent and how long it lasts. Great quality products.

Works well enough. The scent isn’t overpowering (thank God!).Fits in my gym bag.I really like the no aluminum and no phthalate and no alcohol part of this.Wish it lasted longer. But it works.

Glides on nicely, but my husband said I smell like a bottle of pine-sol …

Update: I've updated my review to five stars because they did allow me to return the two deodorants. I was able to go to Target and smell a couple ones I hadn't tried. I got the smoothie deo. It smells nice without being overpowering, and it seems to work pretty well. If you don't like strong scents I would recommend the smoothie deo.******I'm 44, my old deodorant just quit working. To be fair these do seem to work, but the scents are overpowering and not very appealing.I got beachy pits first because I thought it would smell... Beachy. It smells like my grandma smelled in the early '90s. I don't want to smell like an old lady. And although it lists bergamot it doesn't smell citrusy at all.So I crossed my fingers and ordered Sunny Pits. Other reviewers said it smelled like sunshine in a bottle. It does not. It took me a day to place it . . . It smells like cheap laundry detergent. It makes me gag.Now I've spent nearly $30 on two deodorants I can't use. There's no way to really go smell them before you buy them. I don't think I can return them but I'm going to see.I know from other reviews that they are good smelling to some people. But if you're like me and you use All free and clear detergent and are generally sensitive to scents, you will find these cloying and overpowering especially if you're wearing a sleeveless shirt.

Love the smell. Didn't irritate my skin. Didn't stain clothing. I do feel like I need to reapply on a hot day but for a natural deodorant I expect that.
